RE: FLASH: Importing screen prints

[JGL]

For windows . . .


I usually bring them into PhotoShop and save out to BMP then import those

into Flash.


If it looks good in PS, it will look good in Flash.


Your Flash publish settings may be the culprit here. Check your publish

settings. Read up on BMPs with Flash at MM site and your manual. Many many

variables exist . . . Flash is expert at vector, BMPS require tweaking.

Scaling them larger than the original is also a destructive pixelating image

quality smasher . . . unless you apply a trace bitmap (may make the file

much larger though)


Many variables - trial and error.


Chapter6 Flash manual has much useful info.

I was wondering if anyone has had luck importing screen prints into Flash?

We have tried every conceivable format and techniques that I can think of

and still get messy looking results.  If you get good results, please share

your technique.  (We use HyperSnap for the captures.)
